SUNDAY SERMON
Prayer Warriors May 17th
Opening Scripture- 9am Prayer
“If My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.”
— 2 Chronicles 7:14
Points to Consider and Ponder throughout the week:
pray slowly and sincerely,
listen for the Lord’s direction,
read scripture aloud,
and leave moments for silence and reflection.
I am giving an order of service with one bible verse of guidance with prayer points
Feel free to add to it as the Holy Spirit leads you
There are 6 Prayer points as guidance lets plan on 5 minute sections (30 mins total)
This is just for guidance, if the anointing of the Holy Spirit drops upon you or the sanctuary, just flow —Don’t worry about the 5 min limit this is not meant to be church as usual
100% Patriotic but Christ-Centered
